        _**surfinBH**_ provides _**sur**rogate **fin**al **B**lack_ _**H**ole_
        properties for mergers of binary black holes (BBH).
        
        These fits are described in the following papers: <br/>

        This package is compatible with both python2 and python3.
        This package lives on [GitHub](https://github.com/vijayvarma392/surfinBH) and
        is tested every day with [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/). You can see the
        current build status of the master branch at the top of this page.
        
        ## Installation
        
        ### PyPI
        _**surfinBH**_ is available through [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/surfinBH/):
        
        ```shell
        pip install surfinBH
        ```
        
        ### Conda
        _**surfinBH**_ is available on [conda-forge](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/surfinbh):
        
        ```shell
        conda install -c conda-forge surfinbh
        ```
        
        
        ### From source
        
        ```shell
        git clone https://github.com/vijayvarma392/surfinBH
        cd surfinBH
        git submodule init
        git submodule update
        python setup.py install
        ```
        
        If you do not have root permissions, replace the last step with
        `python setup.py install --user`
        
        
        ## Dependencies
        All of these can be installed through pip or conda.
        * [numpy](https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/user/install.html)
        * [scipy](https://www.scipy.org/install.html)
        * [h5py](http://docs.h5py.org/en/latest/build.html)
        * [scikit-learn](http://scikit-learn.org/stable/install.html) (at least 0.19.1)
        * [lalsuite](https://pypi.org/project/lalsuite)
        * [gwsurrogate](https://pypi.org/project/gwsurrogate)
        * [NRSur7dq2](https://pypi.org/project/NRSur7dq2) (only for surfinBH7dq2)
        
        ## Usage
        
        ```python
        import surfinBH
        ```
        
        ### See list of available fits
        ```python
        print(surfinBH.fits_collection.keys())
        >>> ['NRSur3dq8Remnant', 'NRSur7dq4Remnant', 'surfinBH7dq2']
        ```
        
        Pick your favorite fit and get some basic information about it.
        ```python
        fit_name = 'NRSur7dq4Remnant'
        
        surfinBH.fits_collection[fit_name].desc
        >>> 'Fits for remnant mass, spin and kick veclocity for generically precessing BBH systems up to mass ratio 4.'
        
        surfinBH.fits_collection[fit_name].refs
        >>> 'arxiv:1905.09300'
        ```
        
        ### Load the fit
        This only needs to be done **once** at the start of your script.
        If the fit data is not already downloaded, this will also download the data.
        ```python
        fit = surfinBH.LoadFits(fit_name)
        >>> Loaded NRSur7dq4Remnant fit.
        ```
        ### Evaluation
        The evaluation of each fit is different, so be sure to read the documentation.
        This also describes the frames in which different quantities are defined.
        ```python
        help(fit)
        ```
        
        We also provide ipython examples for usage of different fits:
        
        ##### Current fits
        
        * [NRSur7dq4Remnant](https://github.com/vijayvarma392/surfinBH/blob/master/examples/example_7dq4.ipynb) (Ref. [2])
        
        * [NRSur3dq8Remnant](https://github.com/vijayvarma392/surfinBH/blob/master/examples/example_3dq8.ipynb) (called surfinBH3dq8 in Ref. [1])
        
        ##### Older fits
        
        * [surfinBH7dq2](https://github.com/vijayvarma392/surfinBH/blob/master/examples/example_7dq2.ipynb) (Ref. [1]. Superseded by NRSur7dq4Remnant)
        
        ## Animations
        
        We also provide a tool to visualize the binary black hole scattering process,
        see
        [binary black hole explorer](https://vijayvarma392.github.io/binaryBHexp/).
        Here's an example:
